Very interesting set, many thanks for sharing.

I'm sure the price will settle to "street price" in the fullness of time.

Unfortunately we can't draw any conclusions because we don't know what the fault was, we haven't had similar problems and to be fair there will always be a percentage failure rate for any manufactured item.

Meanwhile, I for one continue to venture out into the rain without hesitation.

I hope you have a successful warranty claim in the end.

I'm recalling that strange Kent air museum that didn't allow cameras or notebooks and pencils. The sort of place that leads me to be somewhat confrontational, but fortunately they were closed so they survived.

Anyway, notebooks. Some people train spot, fair enough if it suits them. Lately I've become aware that some people serial number spot, collecting serial numbers of cameras and lenses. They hope to be able to extend the range of numbers known and can get quite excited about it.

Probably the only one that really comes close is GIMP. And even that not really.

It depends how much of Photoshop we use I guess.

We should also look to EU tax rates that penalise video cameras quite heavily. Unless it's changed, it pays not be a video camera.

I would forget a tablet for photo editing and stick with a good laptop. There just isn't the capacity on a tablet and the apps are not a patch on full Photoshop. The control isn't there either as there's no mouse or keyboard.

Ironically, I never used the split image with my film cameras, preferring the general ground glass area of the screen. The advantage has been that current plain screens suit me very well.

What I can tell you is that the Retina display on my iPad 4 is excellent. It also reproduces the 16-step wedge on EPZ accurately.

PS Yes, as Algi alludes, there does seem to be a low key affirmation in their statement that APS-C is the current way forward.

I suppose for FF it depends how far advances initial designs and prototypes have been. A new FF frame camera does not happen quickly, especially if we want the bugs removed before it's on sale.
